“After dealing with several immigration attorneys who gave me poor advice and couldn’t answer my questions, I found Paul through a previous client. The difference was night and day. Paul knows what he is talking about and gets things done.”

“I’ve retained him for my immigration needs numerous times. He always answers my questions thoroughly (and I have lots of them usually). His work is thorough, professional and timely. His fees are reasonable and if you consider the amount of 1-on-1 time you spend with him, it’s a steal.”
